Whole30 Marry Me Chicken

A flavorful Whole30 dish featuring chicken in a creamy coconut sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, perfect for a satisfying meal.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into 1 inch cubes)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt (or salt, divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
  • 1 can (13.66 oz) full-fat unsweetened canned coconut cream (chilled; solid part only)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1–2 tablespoons arrowroot or potato starch
  • 1 jar (8 oz) sun-dried tomatoes (drained, blotted dry, and chopped)
  • 0.5 ounces fresh basil (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the cubed chicken breasts, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Add minced garlic in the last minute.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together chicken broth, nutritional yeast, dried oregano, and remaining salt with 1 tablespoon of the starch.
  4. Prepare the sun-dried tomatoes by draining, blotting dry, and chopping.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, add the sun-dried tomatoes to the pan and stir to combine. Mix in the white solid part of the chilled coconut cream until melted.
  6. Add the chicken broth mixture, bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Adjust thickness of the sauce as desired by adding more starch or broth.
  8. Serve the Whole30 Marry Me Chicken warm, optionally garnished with fresh basil.

Notes

For best results, use the solid part of coconut cream for creaminess. This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables or steamed cauliflower rice.
